Some artists make two lines of action - one for the body, and one for the arms. Note that they are curves, but they are not S shaped or squiggles. You should be able to identify and record a pose's line of action in the first 2 seconds of your drawing. If you wish, you may even exaggerate the curve of the line to make the pose feel less stiff. When drawing from life, begin by finding the line of action and noting it down. The more curve you put into that line, the more attitude, force and/or movement the image will communicate to your viewers.
You can think of the line of action as an imaginary line that runs down the spine. Whether from life or from imagination, the first mark made in most figure drawings is the line of action.
